My dog, Poppy, a 1.5-year-old husky weighing around 55 lbs, ate 5 antibiotic pills (100 mg nitrofurantoin) within the last couple of hours. Should I induce vomiting, and what should I expect in terms of side effects?

My two-year-old alpaca, Gretl, choked while eating grain last night. She drooled and regurgitated several times but was up eating and drinking a few hours later. Today, she is normal in eating, drinking, and pooping. Do I need to worry about pneumonia, and what should I look for if I do?

A 7-month-old Samoyed puppy named Ladie is experiencing frequent regurgitation of food and water, labored breathing, diarrhea for 4 days, excessive lip licking, and vomiting yellow bile today. She has been fed a bland diet of chicken and rice with pediatric electrolytes for 2 days but shows no improvement. She may have ingested a couple of Skittles and has been lethargic for two days. What could be causing these symptoms and what immediate steps should be taken?

My niece's 8-year-old Chihuahua, who weighs 20-25 lbs, was playing with another dog this morning and yelped after bending his neck back. Now, he has his tail between his legs, is walking with his butt low to the ground, and won't eat. He also seems to be avoiding turning his head and is looking around with his eyes instead. He had a normal poop around 7 AM and his gums are pink, breathing is normal. What could be wrong and what should we do?

My 4-5 month old dog, Charley, started vomiting clear slime and has lost his appetite, but is still drinking water. He vomited his dog food, followed by slime and water, and is now laying around. I'm worried because his sister recently died from vomiting and diarrhea. What could be causing this and what should I do?
